Summary
In May and June 2017, a family researcher used the Beaver Island Forum to trace the fish tug Jerry W. and its connections to Oscar Hermanson, Earl Maudrie, and the Napont family. Replies supplied community recollections, while the researcher located a reported Coast Guard registry entry and historical photographs.
Evidence limits
The thread preserves useful leads but does not establish a complete ownership chain, current location, or verified identity and provenance for the linked photographs.
Sources
- A family researcher sought the former fish tug Jerry W.; participants offered recollections of ownership and a possible Naubinway location. The researcher later reported a Coast Guard registry entry naming Brian Napont as last owner with registration expired in 2003 and linked photographs of uncertain date and provenance. These are research leads and oral recollections, not a verified vessel history or present-location finding.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011617
